Up till now he has taken more than 118,000 photos in China. Now, he shares these photos on Chinese social media (社交媒体).

They don’t use language, but they send messages to each other. Animals communicate with each other in three main ways: through sounds, smells, and body language. ②The alarm (警报) call is one way. When an enemy is near, animals send out a warning sound. Others hear it and run to a safe place, or get together to fight the enemy. Whales are famous for their ability to communicate from far away with special sounds. In their own social groups, whales understand what they’re saying to each other. ③Smell is another popular way for animals to communicate. Some animals, such as the amoeba (变形虫) send out a smell to tell other amoebas it’s going to have babies. Skunks send out an odour when they feel they are in danger. ④Many animals use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) touch hands when they meet. A happy dog moves its tail from side to side. Even people understand this form of a dog’s body language. ⑤People develop their own ways of communicating using words and sentences. But if you watch animals carefully, you quickly come to understand that they also have ways of sending their messages. 11. How does the writer start the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By showing an old saying. 12. What do the underlined words “an odour” mean? A. A loud sound. B. A terrible smell. C. A bright colour. D. A special shape. 13. What does the writer want to show by giving us the example of dogs? A. Animals can communicate with sound. B. Animals can communicate with smell. C Animals can communicate in three ways. D. Animals can communicate with body language. 14. What’s the structure (结构) of the text? (Paragraph 1=①, Paragraph 2=②…) A. B. C. D. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. How to Protect Animals B. How Animals Communicate C. Why Body Language Matters D. What Animals Can Communicate D Rice is a very common kind of food in life.
